Modifying Properties of a Clustered Service or Application
Failover Clustering allows you to modify the failover behavior of a clustered
service or application. To modify the clustered service properties:
1 Right-click on the clustered service or application and click on Properties.
2 Select from the two tabs General and Failover. The following options
available under these tabs:
• Preferred owners - This is an option under General tab. This option
allows you to designate one or more nodes in your cluster as the
Preferred Owner for the clustered service or application. It also allows
you to set the order of nodes.
• Prevent Failback/Allow Failback - This is an option under General
tab. This option enables you to specify if the service or application
automatically fails back to the most preferred owner.
• Maximum failures in the specified period and Period (hours) - This
is an option under Failover tab. This option enables you to specify the
number of times the cluster service must attempt to restart or failover
the service or application in a specified time period. If the service or
application fails more than the maximum limit specified, the service
or application is left in the failed state.
